Types of Literature Events

Author-Led Panels and Q&A
Do you want to ask a writer where their brilliant idea came from – or learn the process that sparks their creative genius? Are you inquisitive, do you have a lot of inquiries, or, perhaps, you simply want to sit and listen to a professional author you admire? Fans are given the opportunity to attend one of our many panels while authors discuss the wonderful worlds of literature.

Fan Roundtables
By fans, for fans, with fans! Have the opportunity to join your fellow readers for a rousing, interactive discussion including YA, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Fan Fiction and Thrillers: good, bad and ugly.

First-Ten-Pages Critique Workshop
Do you want critical feedback from professional editors to help you become a better, more well-rounded writer? Can you handle both honest praise and criticism? If yes, then join us for our First-Ten-Pages Critique Workshop where you can receive direct and actionable feedback to help make sure the arguably, most important part of your query packet will keep prospective agents interested in working with you.

Harris County Public Library Reading and Recharge Station
Do you need a quiet break from the crowds? A relaxing beanbag to read that new book in? Want to practice drawing a comic book or just need a quiet space to rest for a bit and charge your phone? Attendees can visit the Harris County Public Library: Reading and Recharge station. They want to help YOU recharge so you can get back into the Comicpalooza action. There are books (and comics!) to check out, library cards to make, and even a fun activity or two. Your favorite librarians are also there to suggest a book and offer a quiet space to read it!
